Well I just wasted $120. today on 175 million to 1 long shot. Boy do I feel stupid. I was just feeling remorseful and thinking about converting to your system. Now you dont have a system for me to convert to?

You wanted to challenge my lottery playing style.You can do it now.
Not exactly challenging your playing style but wondering how you came up 50/50. I could play 35 combinations using every bonus number and win in 100% of the drawings, but I'd probably lose lots of money in the long run. The probabilities of matching 4 + 1 and cashing for $10,000 is about once in every 178 years using that method. You should match 3 + 1 about once in every 3.36 years.
Most people define winning as collecting more than they spent so while you can win something in 100% of the drawings, you're not exactly winning.

THE SHOTGUN PLAYING METHOD TO WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT.
HITTING THE TARGET.
"when a shotgun is fired all those pellets that are crammed into the cartridge spread out so it's easier to hit the target."
Daniel Bruckner won a Mega Millions jackpot on December 27, 2011 with the $10 Mega Millions ticket below.
PLAYING LOTTERY GAMES ( INSTANT SCRATCH OFF GAMES TOO ) MORE OFTEN FOR MORE TICKETS= SPENDING MORE MONEY= GAMBLING ADDICTION.
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY.
Thrift', hey, I feel you on all this...and I can see why you would feel as you do. The single and only problem is ALL THE NUMBERS INVOLVED. I mean, we're talkin' a BUNCH of numbers crammed inside a containment...ONE of which will be drawn from each one. Now, you use the "shotgun" theory which sounds very, very good and will work nearly flawlessly with little games. But, with this many numbers, a person can fire all the pellets (purchase tickets) that their little heart desires.
In the end, though, THE RIGHT SIX PELLETS STILL MUST ALL HIT ON THE SAME LINE (TARGET). A person can spend $1K on tickets, and guess what? It's only a drop in the bucket, friend. ONE WRONG NUMBER stands between them losing all of it, or, getting it all back and then a ton more. Miss that 5th number and they're done...for a while, too.
Think of how many times they could play at $5-$10 a shot...and actually have better chances due to consistent playing with that same $1K. It's not how much you spend all the time, but rather HOW you spend it. I'd much rather play 200 times @ $5, but that's just me.

Now that I spent $120. I was in hopes that the illuminati would see my numbers and decide that my city and state needed the money and pick me as the winner.

THE LOTTERY 50/50 RULE IS BASED ON POSITIVE ENERGY/NEGATIVE ENERGY.
